What moves it
Why two of the same job cost different amounts
These apply at the same time and in both directions. Which of them is true of your kitchen is what the on-site diagnostic settles.
-
How long since it was last done
A path cleared annually is an hour. One that has never been opened is a different job, and usually reveals radiants that have to be replaced rather than cleaned.
-
Whether the radiants survived
Warped or holed radiants no longer shed the way the design requires, and putting the path back without them simply starts the countdown again.
-
Whether fat has reached the cabinet
Once the tray has corroded through, the drippings have been going into the island rather than into the cup, and cleaning that is its own work.
The work itself
What we actually do
The job behind the figure: what it involves, when a symptom points at it, and what we check first.

from $165 Grease management service
The service that is sold as cleaning and is really fire safety. A grill is designed to take rendered fat away from the flame — radiants spread the heat and shed the drippings, a tray collects what comes through, a channel takes it somewhere it can be emptied. When any part of that path is loaded, missing or refitted wrong, fat arrives on the burners instead, and the result is the flare-ups people describe as the grill 'getting angry'. In this market we see this most on grills that are spotless on the grates and untouched underneath. It is the cheapest work on an outdoor kitchen and the one with the highest consequence.
- Flare-ups at every cook are a grease path problem, not a cooking technique problem
- Radiants refitted the wrong way round defeat the whole design

About DCS grease management service cost
Why this figure is a from
Priced as a safety job because that is what it is. The figure depends on how long the path has been left, because a channel that has been overflowing for two seasons has put fat somewhere that now has to be cleared as well.
What we will not do
We do not quote a repair over the telephone from a description, and we do not publish a final price anywhere on this site. Both are the same rule. On this badge there is a second reason: most of this equipment is set into something a mason built, and until the surround has been seen, half of any estimate is missing. There is a third. Salt does not age two kitchens at the same rate, and a fixing that has seized turns a twenty-minute part change into an afternoon. We would rather establish all of that than guess at a number.

Before you book
Questions about DCS grease management service cost
Why is it a from and not a price?
Because the same job is not the same work on two machines. Outdoors there are two large variables before a part is named: what the machine is set into, and how long the salt has been working on it. Either can change the hour, and a seized fixing can change it more than the component being replaced. The exact cost is confirmed on site, in writing, before anything is opened.
Is the diagnostic on top of this?
The diagnostic is from $95 and it comes off the repair when you go ahead. Where the finding is that the machine is not worth mending — or that the problem belongs to the gas supply or the building's power rather than to the appliance — you have paid for the answer and not for a part.
